Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The village of La Roche-Guyon was occupied by German soldiers in June 1944. It was the most occupied village in all of occupied France. Every one of the 543 villagers was guarded by more than three German soldiers.

#2 Rommel was the commander of Army Group B, and he was waiting impatiently for six o’clock. At that time, he would breakfast with his staff and then depart for Germany.

#3 Rommel was going home. He had spent months waiting for the Allied invasion, and he was extremely tense. He had to leave France to get away from the stress of the situation.

#4 The report Rommel received every morning was always the same: the invasion front was quiet except for the nightly bombing of the Pas-de-Calais. It seemed clear to him that the Allies were going to invade at the Pas-de-Calais.
